Classification plays a crucial role in big data, especially in e-commerce operations. Deep learning (DL) research has become a new means to provide a better solution to the problem of classification. In this paper, a deep learning spiking neural network model with the objective of building and testing a more biologically plausible network is proposed. The model is simulated using NengoDL simulator along with TensorFlow in a python environment. The performance of the model is evaluated using FashionMNIST dataset owing to its complexity than the existing MNIST dataset. The results provided better performance, and advantages are viewed in terms of area efficiency due to the use of lesser number of neurons, increasingly biologically plausible network and ease of implementation in hardware like FPGA as SNN is involved.
